Abstract :
It is noted that autonomous systems provide a new magnitude of flexibility and capability for complex manufacturing requirements. All resources are modeled as intelligent entities that interact with each other in a controlled environment. Each entity has an adaptive and intelligent controller allowing the entity to autonomously pursue multiple goals as both a consumer and a producer. Environment rules are established by local and global multiple-criteria decision systems to resolve conflicts between entities and to optimize their overall performance
